Another active day

Took an Aleve at 9am and headed off to the Philadelphia Flower Show. Climbing steps, taking train, walking and on my feet 5 hours. Even carried my packages back to the station....6 blocks away. Wore Ahhbra.......and couldn't wait to get it off..........LOL. Felt like I was walking around the convention center at my normal speed, not thinking about having had surgery. Did have to make sure that I didn't get knocked on the device when in a crowd. All in all a good day but I am a little sore over the device. Tomorrow a day at home. a

A Great Day

The weather here was delightful at over 60 degrees and sunny. A dear friend took me to a local park along the Rancocas Creek and we went birding!! She is an avid birder and has a high power camera and great binoculars. I saw a hawk as well as a beaver dam and mud house! Great conversation, great exercise in walking and a 34 year friendship celebrated. Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks Marge for a lovely afternoon.
2 1/2 hours outside and I feel great. Going 9-12 hours without meds for pain.
Oh, and I wore the AhhBra for 3.5 hours without issue. I highly recommend it for post chest surgeries in women.

Post Op day 14

We are 2 weeks out from surgery and I am needing pain meds less and less. Can go maybe 12 hours over night without and every 7-9 during the day ( I guess because I am more active). The pain seems now to be mainly in the area where the device actually sits and I think that once those steristrips come off it will feel even better. The other two incisions over the sternum are now without steristrips and look really good.
Ahhbra arrived yesterday and will try those out shortly. And the best news is that I can hold my 2 week old granddaughter without pain
